Somebody's Mother Makes Amazing Sauces!

It's difficult to write this blog post. I'll tell you why. Because all I can think about (at 8:30 in the morning, no less) is this caramel sauce. I mean, really. It is that good. It is already my favorite. I have to admit coming up with a favorite sauce from the three choices is like trying to choose your favorite cute snugly puppy. They are all wonderful.

I expected to like chocolate best. I am a chocolate hound, you see. So I tried chocolate first and declared chocolate the winner. Then I tried the caramel. By 'then', I mean about three seconds later. I declared caramel the winner. Next (another three seconds later) I tried White Chocolate with Pear William. Guess what? It was my new favorite! Then I thought about drinking the caramel sauce, but I had left it in the kitchen. Instead I was civilized and just licked the bowl I had used for the caramel. Bowl licking is not normal around these parts, but that was before Somebody's Mother was involved. Somebody's Mother's Sauces are the best I have ever had. Sure, I make a passable caramel sauce myself. I can even take it to pot luck type things. One time a lady even poured it on her tortilla wraps. Somebody's Mother's sauces put mine to shame.I think today I am going to make myself a banana split just so I can have all three sauces on ice cream. I simply have to share them with my eighty-three year old grandparents, too. They know what good is. I am sure they will recognize these sauces as good right away.

Do you want to know what else is neat about Somebody's Mother's sauces? Their website. Yes, I said website. It shows the reason behind the business and it says a lot about the people behind the company. You can go straight to their store to order, but I would recommend stopping by the website. There is a book there, which you can read right now. It's free! There is a music download, also free. The song was written about the chocolate sauce. How many websites have you visited where you can download free books and music? I mean, what more do you want?

Oh.

Wait.

I know what you might like. How about a chance to win some for yourself?

I sort of feel sorry for whoever wins third prize because choosing will be such a daunting task. But maybe not. I mean, if you have never tried the sauces before you will not realize what it really means to choose between them.

My favorite lidlet is from Harry Truman. When his daughter wanted to sing opera, Harry was her biggest fan. (Newspaper reviewers suggested he may have been her only fan.) I need to remember his suggestion before handing out advice to my kids.

my favorite lidlit is "THe best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." If I had to choose I'd pick chocolate because u can never go wrong with chocolate. stef4916 @gmail . com

May Canadians enter? My favourite lidlet is the quotation from William Stafford: "Children dance before they learn there is anything that isn't music." If I win the 3rd place prize I think I'll choose caramel.

The lidlet was a tough choice until I saw "If at first you don't succeed, do it the way your Mother told you". Reason being, my mother just passed away in March and I used this same saying on her picture memory board. It got a few chuckles from everyone! The second grader and his/her use of Diet was funny too.

I would choose white chocolate w/pear william, only because I've never experienced that particular flavor before. :-)

I like this from the book:Your unrealized dreams are not your children’s to own. If you’rehaving a hard time, get help from a professional who can prescribe. Don’t be afraid ofantidepressants. One of the few things you actually “owe” your child is cheerfulness.Life is difficult enough.

I like that someone wrote a song about the chocolate sauce "I wrote this song, "Chocolate," in honor of Lynn Lasher who invested in my dream and made it possible for me to release my own full-length album. Lynn owns a chocolate company called "Somebody's Mother's Chocolate Sauce." It's yummy :)"- Amy Kuney

I would choose the chocolate because hey if it is good enough to sing about....saradavis1 at gmail
